Solana Network

Solana is a fast, low-cost blockchain network. Think of it like a global ledger (accounting book) that anyone can read or write to, managed by thousands of computers instead of one company.

Key points:

• Fast: Processes thousands of transactions per second
• Cheap: Transactions cost fractions of a penny
• Open: Anyone can use it without permission
• Secure: Uses cryptography to prevent fraud
